Coming just $6,000 short of its
$50,000 goal at the weekend's
CKNX Healthcare ,Heroes
Radiothon, Seaforth Community
Hospital Foundation president Ron
Lavoie said the campaign will
continue until mid-November.
"There is still the opportunity to
meet our campaign goal. But, it
was a tremendous success with a
lot of community support for
healthcare and the PACS project,"
he said.
The daylong event at the
Seaforth Legion, which raised
$43,237 towards a new Picture
Archiving Communication System
(PACS), offered entertainment
from local singers, dancers,
fiddlers and guitar players along
with the second year of Stratford
Festival actor Lucy Peacock as the
honorary radiothon chair.
"I'll be doing this as long as I
can. It's such a good cause," she
said after performing a song with
her son Harry Thomas.
Organizers and volunteer
workers from the Seaforth
hospital, clinic, hospital auxiliary
and hospital foundation got a
chance to dress up in costumes
from the Stratford Festival.
And, Lavoie said a number of
radiothon events in surrounding
Communities took a page from
Seaforth's success and offered
similar entertainment.
"We were unique last year in
what we were doing and they saw
we were successful and are this
year doing the same kind of thing,"
he said.
Because of several large
donations from area businesses,
such as the Bridges of Seaforth
and O'Rourke Transport, and the
Blyth Festival radiothon kick-off
fundraiser which raised $4,000
when 350 tickets were sold to the
play Another Season's Harvest, the
numbers climbed faster than last
year.
The total of $25,750 at noon had
